Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada, thank you for your intelligent, eloquent, and compassionate response to this debacle. Blessings and hope to all the good, honest, and hard-working individuals in both of our countries. May love and logic prevail.

The ultimate goal of Donald is to weaken Canada, Europe, NATO & all the democracies in the free world for his boss Putin for world hegemony, no doubt bout that!

We, Canadians, are going to be fucked 100%. Like Ukranians. Trump wants to crush Canada until it bends its knees.....he intimidates, coerces and extorts. We are living in an extremely serious moment, and it has only just begun. 75 million people voted for him. If there was a new vote today, he would still win. The United States wants a strong, loud-mouthed president who will crush the past and reinvent a new world. the rest is to follow. If it wasn't so brutal and frightening, it would be fascinating.

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

You’re true leader Canada is trying to win his election back. That’s all it is!!$

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

Sorry about this, Canada. Trump's trade war is one of the dumbest things ever.

With all Respect to Canada but Please don’t underestimate the US. We can make our own stuff. Your 25% is nothing here.?

Canada: Trumps lying\nFact Checkers: Trumps lying\nMAGA: Trump is God

If trudeau elected again khalistan will be established in canada.khalsa will rule over canada

Why is Canada calling USA a friend? Listen to Kissinger will you?: To be a foe of USA may be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.

Watch trump weaponize this to paint Canada as an enemy of America to justify future shenanigans and Senate Republicans will continue to just eat it right up smh

Canada should boycott the new Gordie Howie bridge ? don't open it. Close it. All together stop the construction

I’m in Virginia USA and I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ??

The educated and thinking American people ( who are the majority of voters and unfortunately 1/3 did not vote) know that Donald Trump has lied to us. We understand that Canada has no fault and no role in contriving this trade war. We also know that the Fentanyl problem has little or nothing to do with Canada and that the majority of Fentanyl is brought into the USA by US citizens. Most American citizens do not want this. Donald Trump and is an opportunist. He does not care about the American people . He cares about himself and his money.

Canada, I don't blame you if you want to flip the middle finger at us Americans. We are responsible for having a monster and lunatic in the White House. We deserve to not be liked by Canadians, period. If I was a Canadian, I would not welcome Americans into Canada. We Americans are losers and suckers everyday that we do not fight back against MAGA and all of its republicans including Congress and Donald Trump. We are weak and live in servitude to the MAGA tyranny that is slowing destroying the United State's standard of living and reputation. Canada, I personally stand with you, and hope that your country will assist the resistance movement in the next revolution to take out Donald Trump and MAGA. I am so fired up and pissed off at my government and Donald Trump.

Trump is not a smart guy he is mentally challenged lol \nAnd this incredible speech is gonna go right through him cause he hasn’t got a clue what’ going on, he is just bullying for the sake of bullying \n\nAnd no matter who the next prime minister of Canada will be, what is being said here is unanimous and stays, and the next guy will be just as articulate and intelligent as this one.. don’t you worry about Canada!

Rename Canada to Khalistan Mr. Trudeau

Praying for all of us... love you Canada ❤

Stay strong Canada, I don’t want this government or these tariffs, I pray I’m with the majority, this is NOT my America.

Brilliant and powerful speech. I love your country and your people Canada!?? All my support !

Canada can start using crude oil and manufacture petroleum-based products also processing of minerals for both export and trade.

Canada hates us

So all I want to say is screw Canada Canada if you raise people like that you deserve what you're getting.......?Canada

Well said ! This will hurt Canada, but the US as well. Inflation will be up, markets have been plumetting, and jobs are on the line. All because of Trump and his senseless war.

Another American here, apologizing on behalf of my country. You, Canada, deserve better than us.

As an American I cannot think of one single thing that I purchase from Canada?

Canada’s GDP is less than New York State ??

Trudeau is a clown! ? The guy has sunk Canada economy in the ground.

We stand with Canada and Peace. \nPraying for local grassroots efforts. Our government holds us in its grips :(

What a whusp. Forget the “together” bs. The fact that the Canada/American friendship has long been identified as one is the greater reason why Canada should feel the most injured and forget the “together”bs. Fight idiocy with fire. Canada should charge a toll for all ships moving to Alaska when inside their 10-mile coastal limit. As well as tolls on all traffic, cars, trucks driving thru Canada highways to Alaska in addition to the tariffs.

Canada, we love you and I am truly sorry for our garbage administration.

Good for Canada

People can say many bad thing about Trudeau, he's not perfect as a leader, but who is perfect seriously? Conservative party? I don't think Polievre is perfect either, there is no easy way to deal with this, it'S going to cost a LOT of money for Canada to make sure that people and industries survives this...

Canada should start taxing and tweets.

This clown thinks the US markets are down because of Canada, what a joke. Mexico, Canad a s China together make up only 24% of the US GDP, in contrast Canada's is a 67% of their GDP, so if the US does buy from you, you my friend will feel it more. We stand with our president, American first.

I support Canada!

There’s a majority of Americans who are right there with you Canada. Sorry our president has single-handedly undermined the war in Ukraine, created civil insurgency, tarnished relationships with its closest allies, and created divide that can be heard around the world.

Emotive rubbish from Trudeau.\nDisaster for Canada.\nHe’s an idiot.

I pray Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia can find ways to work together and strengthen each others economies and other developments.

Haha,, the 51st states of USA. Canada and USA are both a PARIAH country

I love Trudeau’s dad but Justin is short a few brain cells. You have run Canada into the ground. Time to trade with China and get us cheaper Chinese EVs, solar cells, drones, electronics, clothing…make our cost of living more affordable and sell our agri and resources to China. Win win but u chose to apply 100% tariffs on China EV and be americas lapdog. U deserve to be slapped.

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

We should be modeling Canada instead of fighting with them

Canada is a disgrace, I wish Trump was my President

The orange pumpkin went insane after he was caught stealing from banks for his bad habits .\nWe are sorry we're not part of Canada and intelligence governing instead of selfish crazy people wanting to side with Putin ...I fear s world war unless he's impeached AGAIN ?

Texan here, in full support of Canada & Mexico!

Trudeau welcomed back Isis fighters back to Canada. He is a globalist worm and a sex offender.he slept with a student while teaching at West Point grey academy. Trudeau has the moral compass of Harvey Weinstein.

Not the people in the comments glazing Trudeau as if they forgot how shit the housing and drug situation is in Canada ? just because he's more eloquent doesn't mean he's a good leader. He literally resigned ?

We are not even matching what canada allready and has been tarrifing us and did he say he is a threat and we might get hurt
